Dynamic service interval scheduling in a machine includes receiving monitoring signals for a plurality of components in the machine each indicative of an operating characteristic upon which a state-of-health (SOH) of one of the plurality of components is dependent. An SOH term is calculated for each one of the components based on the monitoring signals and a stored SOH degradation progression profile. SOH reporting signals are outputted based on a respective one of the SOH terms. The reporting signals may indicate a plurality of different continued service capacities among the components at least some of which are runtime-independent of one or more components in a drive system in the machine. Related apparatus and control logic is also disclosed.

A system for managing the longevity of tools of a programmable CNC machine including means for inputting into the machine control a designation of a tool for use therein, means for recording the time of usage of such tool, means for computing the cumulative time of usage of such tool over a lifetime of usage thereof, means for computing the average time of usage of such tool and means for signaling the usage of such tool for a selected percentage of such average time.

A part analysis tool is used to analyze aspects of a composite part. The part analysis tool includes a verification control unit that compares numerical control data used to control operation of a forming system that is used to form the composite part to computer-aided design (CAD) data that includes an authoritative part definition for the composite part. The verification control unit determines whether the numerical control data is within one or more conformance thresholds related to the CAD data. The part analysis tool may also include an inspection control unit that compares inspection data of one or more plies of the composite part to the CAD data. The inspection control unit determines whether the inspection data is within the conformance threshold(s) related to the CAD data.

An example welding system includes a power supply configured to output welding power; a weld parameter feedback sensor configured to produce a weld feedback parameter corresponding to an actual weld condition during welding; and a welding program comprising: a first weld having first weld parameters; a second weld having second weld parameters, wherein the second weld follows the first weld; a controller configured to, in response to selection of the weld program for performing a welding job on a part: control the power supply to provide the welding power to a first weld operation based the first weld parameters; monitor first feedback from the power supply; control the power supply to provide the welding power to a second weld operation based the second weld parameters; monitor second feedback from the power supply; and determine whether at least one of the welding job or the part is acceptable.

A body and at least one control unit that stores and/or controls data for drilling processes is disclosed. At least one machining tool is located on the body extends outward from the body, and provides part shaping, at least one image capturing device that is controlled by the control unit and connected with the control unit for capturing images is also present.

Provided are an abnormality determination system and program that make it possible to accurately detect abnormalities at a machine tool. An abnormality determination system that comprises a detection threshold determination unit that determines a detection threshold for detecting abnormalities at the machine tool on the basis of a motor inference information and an inference precision, a motor measurement unit that acquires motor measurement information about a motor, and a state determination unit that determines the state of the machine tool on the basis of the motor measurement information and the detection threshold.
